Fire In The Raucous Wire


Score PDF

Written for Homeroom Chicago's 2015 10x10. The event pairs visual artists with musicians to produce works that integrate the two mediums. This piece was written in collaboration with Uriel Corea. My music reminded him of an aggressive bug, which can be seen depicted in the art pestering a depiction of Corea. Recorded at Elastic Arts with Josh Berman [cornet], Keefe Jackson [tnr sx], Ryan Packard [vib], Eli Namay [dbl bs], Anton Hatwich [dbl bs], & Phil Sudderberg [kit].
